Attention: Patrick Murphy
Dear Sir,

Re: Development Application for Material Change of Use and Reconfiguration of a Lot
Lot 201 on P5011

1 Rectory Street, Pomona
Applicant: Corporation of the Synod of Diocese of Brisbane

| refer to the above-mentioned matter and the Decision Notice issued by Noosa Council dated 18" May
2021; and | make the following representations to support a Negotiated Decision Notice. The
representations are outlined below:

MCu20/0141
CONDITION 6: Screening

Prior to the commencement of the use a minimum 1.8 metres high solid acoustic screen fence
must be constructed to the southern boundary of proposed Lot 21.

The Condition 6 implies that the continued use of the church will create a noise level that requires
abatement. The church is currently used for services on Sundays only, at 8:00am for one and a half
hours with an average congregation of 15-20 people.

The level of noise emitted from the church is within the range of usual residential noise levels. There
have been no complaints or comments from adjoining residences during the use of the church.

Accordingly, it is requested that Condition 6 is deleted from the Decision Notice.

CONDITION 7: Screening

Prior to the commencement of the use a 0.6 landscape strip must be provided to the full length
of the southern boundary of proposed lot 21. The planted vegetation must consist of native,
endemic species comprised of medium and large shrubs with a growth height of less than 3
metres.

Condition 7 appears to be imposed to soften the visual impact of the 1.8 metre high solid acoustic
screen fence required by Condition 6.

Accordingly the deletion of Condition 6 subsequently requires the deletion of Condition 7.
